Microsoft Overview The  Security Compete team helps Microsoft Security win. We turn competitive evidence into sharper positioning, field guidance, go-to-market choices and product input across four pillars:
Get Ready for AI, Securing AI, Defend with AI and Securing Data. We partner with product and engineering to shape what we build, so market insight becomes a better product, not just better messaging. From leadership setting strategy to sellers in a live deal, we get people the insight they need to decide and win. AI helps us move at market speed, and our experts stay accountable for every call.

Every AI agent needs an identity, and every AI app runs through the network. That puts identity and network access at the center of securing AI, and every major vendor in the space is racing to lead it. Your insight will shape how Microsoft wins today and what it builds next. You'll lead competitive intelligence across IAM, identity governance (IGA), ITDR, and Security Service Edge (ZTNA, secure web gateway, CASB), helping Microsoft lead across identity, network access, and securing AI.

Responsibilities Competitive insight across identity, network access, and securing AI Identity and network access vendors are expanding into securing AI, from governing AI agents to controlling how people use AI apps. You’ll track how platform and specialist competitors are evolving across IAM, governance, and SSE, and what that means for Microsoft. Input into Microsoft Entra’s direction You’ll work with Entra product marketing and engineering to turn that insight into decisions on how Microsoft secures AI agents and AI access: where to invest, what to improve, and how to position.

You'll ground recommendations in customer conversations, win/loss analysis, field feedback, and market signals. Field guidance for competitive evaluations You’ll build the vendor analyses, technical briefs, and battle cards sellers use against identity, governance, and SSE competitors, including in evaluations focused on securing AI. You’ll support priority deals where competitive insight can change the outcome, using AI to keep pace with the market while staying accountable for accuracy.
